Condor Moments
… And Though We’re Told We’ve Got it All, The All
We’ve got is Freezing Cold

Condor Moments singer/keyboardist Richy Midnight is probably the one of the
few singers who croons with a baritone which is rather tingly. Having been
together for a bit over two decades now, UK’s Condor Moments are bound
or at least, should be entitled to get the due they so deserve. And Though
We’re Told is proof in the pudding of a band at the helm of a kitchen
sink approach but doesn’t fly too far all over the map. Condor Moments
toss in ingredients of wobbly baroque pop, jagged chamber jazz time signatures
and what appears to be a bestialized take on a neo-classical guile for contemporary
musicians. The album is almost cartoon like in the manner in which it transgress
with the caffeinated tempos that trail through tinges of drunken sea chanteys,
kooky Cabaret affinities and the all out vibrancy of a Gypsy shindig smack
dab in the middle of a Lewis Carroll novel. - Chris Pacifico (2007, The Daily
Copper)
